2 The Overview of the Designed Materials All of the materials and teaching‐learning activities in the Student Book were developed based on the principles of Task‐Based Language Teaching TBLT. This part will elaborate the basic principles of TBLT in order to give the users of this book a clearer description and better understanding towards the principles underlying the materials and activities in the Student Book. TBLT, also referred as the Task‐Based Learning or the Task‐Based Instruction, is another development of the Communicative Language Teaching, a pedagogical approach which sees a language primarily as a means of communication. In Task‐Based Language Teaching, tasks are used as the core unit of planning and instruction in language teaching. By engaging learners in tasks world, it will provide better context for the activation of learning processes than form‐focused activities. It also provides opportunities for language learning to take place. Tasks also create opportunities and involve learners in a meaningful communication, a situation in which they can learn the language best. Furthermore, in Task‐Based Language Teaching language is primarily a means of making meaning. Learners do not talk about language; they use the language to deliver their ideas, to express their feeling and to accomplish the tasks. The focus on form or linguistic element in Task‐ Based Language Teaching is learned after learners experience and explore with the language they have. This way, the grammatical items to be learned will be more significant and relevant to their needs, and, would promote learning. The concepts elaborated above are the foundation of the teachinglearning activities in the Student Book. There are five important sections:

A. Let’s Get Started

This section aims to introduce the learners to the context. In this part, learners were given some questions related to the learners’ daily activity that related to the topic as well. The learners were also introduced to some key vocabularies and expressions that would be used in the next section.

B. Let’s Experience

In this section, learners were given controlled practice in using the target language vocabulary, structures and functions. Selective listening, conversational pattern, practicing, using context, or taking notes, tasks were the kinds of tasks used in this part. This section is given as the preparatory tasks so that they will be ready for the main tasks. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 3
